Legion Field Should Be Ready In 2013

From spokesman Keith Erickson of the Lake City Development Corp:

Crews involved in the 2012 McEuen Park upgrades have so far hauled away an estimated 25,000 cubic yards of dirt (the equivalent of 2,500 dump truck loads) from the Third Street parking lot. Another 3,000 yard of soil is due to be scraped from the site, lowering the former parking lot by as much as 12 feet. The dirt is being transported eastward to what will become the new East City Hall parking lot. Paving there is expected to occur on schedule November 2. The final four light poles at the McEuen ball field will be removed next week. Officials waited to remove the last poles until nesting osprey moved on, which they have. Meantime, development of the new American Legion field at the southwest end of Ramsey Park continues with lighting expected to be installed by the end of the month. City Parks Director Doug Eastwood says he expects the field to be ready for play by next season, which starts in June 2013. (SR file photo)
